Trial Information

Inclusion Criteria:

- Women considered at increased risk for developing breast carcinoma (those with a
lifetime risk of >15%due to family history, genetic predisposition, prior radiation
therapy to the chest, prior biopsy showing a high risk lesion, or personal history of
breast cancer) that are being screened with breast MRI.

- Women who have a screening digital mammogram on the day of CESM or within 365 days
prior

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women under 21.

- Pregnant or possibly pregnant.

gadolinium-chelated contrast agent (i.e., allergy to either agent or severely
impaired renal function with a creatinine level > or = to 1.3).

Type of Study:

Study Design:

Outcome Measure:

compare the sensitivity and specificity CESM

Outcome Description:

CESM to that of breast MRI in a population of women who are being screened because they are at increased risk for developing breast cancer. For this purpose a positive CESM test will be defined as a score of 4 or 5. We will use the existing MRI BIRADS system to score CESM images based on the characteristics of individual lesions and increased enhancement compared to the background. A positive MRI test will be defined by a BIRADs score of 4 or 5.

Outcome Time Frame:

1 year

Safety Issue:

No
